“Let this, then, be our first lesson: the presence of God is the chief thing, in our devotions.”
― Andrew Murray, The School of Obedience / With Christ In the School of Prayer

“prayer flows best from those who are in strong kingdom relationships—sharing deeply with one another, partnering together in kingdom activities, and relating to one another in humility, honor, and forgiveness in the grace of God. Paul admonishes us in Colossians to “put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another.” Then he adds, “But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection” (Col. 3:12–14).”

“The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.”
― Jack London, To Build a Fire

“Just as truth without mercy kills, mercy without truth corrupts. Let us not forget that God’s holiness and purity demand the death of all who sin, which means all who are born, not just the firstborn of the wicked. I and my sons deserve to die. The blood of Jesus shed on the cross protects us from the justice of God, which demands our death. To “stay under the blood” is to stay protected from the wrath of God. It is the mercy of God that keeps us immovable, rooted in safety (Ps. 21:7).”
